Intent

An intent is the desire or intention to follow a particular course of
action or achieve a particular outcome. For example, "I can eat cakes
when I want", "We must always have some milk in the fridge", "I will go
out on Friday" are all intents. In other words, an intent is an opinion
about what is to be done.

Owners and property both have intents, and
discipline is the structure of
rules, rewards and penalties which force a slaves' intents into
alignment with those of their owner.
